Brooke’s first book of poems, published in an edition of 500 copies. It was an immediate success on publication, establishing his reputation. Edward Thomas in reviewing this book wrote: ‘He is full of revolt, self-contempt, and yet arrogance too … Copies should be bought by everyone over forty who has never been under forty. It will be a revelation.’
Neat contemporary gift inscription to the front free endpaper, faint partial offsetting to edges, edges slightly spotted, spine just a shade faded, paper label a little tanned as usual, otherwise a very good copy indeed.
